The tubes that the pyrotechnic chemicals are stuffed into can be either single use or reloadable. Single use tubes are pre-packed with the explosive powders and are not safe to use again after igniting. Don’t try to refill a disposable tube; it may explode through the sides. Reloadable tubes are made of sturdier materials and can be refilled, according to the manufacturer’s directions, with extra firework cartridges. Depending on the type of fireworks mortars you plan to use, tubes will be constructed from cardboard, fiberglass or high density poly-ethylene.
